How long does homemade aioli last in the fridge?
Homemade aioli keeps 3–4 days in the fridge — raw egg and garlic mean no grace period, so make it the day you plan to serve it.

Can it sit out?
Homemade aioli is perishable — the FSIS 2-hour rule applies.
Perishable food left at room temperature for more than 2 hours should be thrown out — 1 hour if it’s 90°F or hotter (a picnic, a hot car, a summer kitchen).
How to tell if homemade aioli has gone bad
- A sour or sharp smell running under the garlic
- The emulsion broken into loose oil and paste
- A gray or yellowed cast across the surface
When in doubt, throw it out.
Keep the jar at the back of the fridge rather than in the door — a warmed emulsion splits, and it never whisks back the same.
